Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
